After more than two-and-a-half years of fits and starts, Deborah Blum (Beretta, Starbelly, Delarosa, etc.) has decided to pull the plug for good on the plant-based restaurant, brewery and bar, Citizen Fox.

Ultimately, it looks like frustrations with permitting and lack of movement on construction at restaurant’s permanent home are to blame.

According to a statement from the restaurant:

Citizen Fox will cease operations at 2293 Mission Street, which served as its temporary, pop-up location while the team awaited the completion of the originally-planned-upon space at 2205 Mission Street. Given the painstakingly long and challenging development process to build out the restaurant at 2205 Mission (nearly 3 years in the making), the team collectively determined its time to move on. Sunday, May 8 will be Citizen Fox’s final service (brunch), and sister sandwich shop Kit Fox at The Hall’s final day will be Friday, May 6.

No word at this point as far as what will take the restaurant’s place at 2293 Mission.
